Let's divide 228711 by 47
Let's see how many times 47 fits into 228711.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 can be fit into 22 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 22 to get 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 228 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 188 from 228 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 407 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
47 can be fit into 407 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 376 from 407.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 311 / 47

On to step 5:
If we divide 311 by 47, we get 6 and a remainder of 29.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 486.0
If we take 282 away from 311, we end up with 29.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 291 / 47

Step 6:
47 can be fit into 291 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4866.0
Subtracting 282 from 291 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
47 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4866.1
If we subtract 47 from 90, we get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 8:
47 goes into 430 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4866.19
If we take 423 away from 430, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4866.191
If we take 47 away from 70, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
47 goes into 230 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4866.1914
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 188 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
420 divided by 47 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4866.19148
If we subtract 376 from 420, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 47 fits into 440 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4866.191489
Subtracting 423 from 440 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
47 can be fit into 170 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4866.1914893
If we take 141 away from 170, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 47 fits into 290 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4866.19148936
Deduct 282 from 290 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4866.19148936, and the remainder is 8e-09.
